<t> I really like this game. It is a nice treatment of tactical situations in the period under study. Easy to play. The unit detail is pretty good. The Turkish units were a novel surprise in a Turk-Polish skirmish I played. I have found that that I am not able to beat the AI above the intro level ...

Thank you! Thank you! Indeed it was the error checking box. Annoyance over.

I have a box in the upper left corner of the map which, in red, displays the fps for the game and some other information. This prints over other information in that corner. I have searched the manual and cannot find how to shut this feature off. Is there a way to shut this off?

That seems to have worked. Thanks.

<t> I installed the game. An intro screen told me that I needed to go through the steps to get the game unlocked. I have been through the first three battles several times successfully. After the third one it send me back to the first one. Nothing else works with this game. How do I get the game ...

<t> Here are the sequence of events:<br/>
1. First install partial success but no sound.<br/>
Change out system main drive. Reformat etc.<br/>
2. Re-install. Total failure.<br/>
<br/>
What has changed? My system DirectX has been updated. This program apparently cannot tolerate anything but the ...

<t> My first post was in August. I put the thing away and attempted to re-install it last week or so. Now it is worse. It will not do anything. This was not a download version but a full disk I bought from Matrix. Pointing fingers does me no good. I have been burned by Matrix before and I am fully ...

It will not install. that is the issue. Thanks so much.

<t> I came back to this game and attempted to reinstall.&nbsp; Still total trash!&nbsp; The bug I reported above still causes a crash to desktop at startup.&nbsp; If I tur off the music in the install interface all I get is the Black Screen of Death.&nbsp; <br/>
This thing is garbage.&nbsp; <br ...

<t> Allow me to start by saying that I am a huge fan of COG and will unquestionably purchase COG:EE. Winston Churchill, in his role as a historian, when describing the Seven Year's War/French and Indian War (in Europe and N. America respectively) described it as the actual First World War as it was ...

<t> I successfully installed the game and the DIVX files and updated the DIVX to run with Win-XP-Pro-32 bit. It seems that no matter what I do if I try to run the game with music it hangs and I get a message to debug: "File E:\progetti\games\GI3D\Sources\audio\GI3D music manager.cpp Line 151" <br ...

<t> Terminal Comments:<br/>
1. You folks can whine all you want. When the shift comes, whether it is to consoles or 64-bit-hood, fossile emulator games like Matrix and others market will be undesirable. Matrix and similar companies are not able to pro-act the market. The shift is inevitable as a ...

<r> Let me point a coupla' things out:<br/>
1. AMD is launching/has launched a tri-core model of the phenom on the spider platform. See this discussion: <URL url="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/11/13/amd-phenom-9000-quad-core-8000"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb ...

<t> Eric: I just looked on Pricewatch and some other places. The only supply of 32-bit chips for desktops seem to be in the hands of scavanger houses. They are going for small bucks. This level of technology is no longer being manufactured where it will enter the developed world mainstream market ...

<t> Eric: I have no doubt that your gang can continue to come up with excuses to look backwards and to market software that is four generations behind what is happening. However your position is that you want to run new essentially legacy software on 32-bit emulators. That is fine. I still enjoy ...

<t> I assume the Matrix Games and related programming houses are aware that 64-bit CPUs are being sold and 32-bit are leaving the planet?* In fact I recently had a board burn out in one of my business machines, which are all Socket-A. I had a hard time finding a newly manufactured Socket-A board ...

My main machine is a dual-core 64-bit running WinXP 64. Will this game run in this environment?
I have had to abandon several games that do not make the 64-bit cut. I am not interested in multibooting or Win Vista.

<t> This is a little off-topic but I always do hard metal installations of new OSs. I learnt that the hard way from M$FT "upgrading" from '95 to '98. This was a long time ago as I believe I had one of the first releases of the EF and WF games. I really want to see how they run on more modern ...

<t> It looks like what we are waiting for is a "Gone Gold" announcement from Mr. Heath. Matrix had a very rocky start however they have been executing well lately. I am eagerly awaiting this re-issue. My old copies stopped working when I went to WinXP. This was one of my favorite games. I do not see ...
